Postgraduate Handbook

The AUT Postgraduate Handbook is particularly aimed at those students undertaking research for a thesis or dissertation. The content is mainly designed to provide guidance for postgraduate students and staff on the policies and procedures at AUT.

The postgraduate qualifications included in the handbook are doctoral degrees, master's degrees, postgraduate diplomas, postgraduate certificates and bachelor's degrees with honours.

The handbook should be used in conjunction with the AUT Calendar, particularly the general academic statute, general academic regulations, standard qualification regulations and individual programme regulations.
